19.6.40 Event (Declare Event Synchronization Object)
Syntax
Event (EventName)
Arguments
Creates an event synchronization object named EventName.
Description
For more information about the uses of an event synchronization object, see the ASL definitions for
the Wait, Signal, and Reset function operators.
19.6.41 ExtendedIO (Extended IO Resource Descriptor Macro)
Syntax
ExtendedIO (ResourceUsage, IsMinFixed, IsMaxFixed, Decode, ISARanges, AddressGranularity,
AddressMinimum, AddressMaximum, AddressTranslation, RangeLength, TypeSpecificAttributes,
DescriptorName, TranslationType, TranslationDensity)
Arguments
ResourceUsage specifies whether the Memory range is consumed by this device
(ResourceConsumer) or passed on to child devices (ResourceProducer). If nothing is specified,
then ResourceConsumer is assumed.
IsMinFixed specifies whether the minimum address of this I/O range is fixed (MinFixed) or can be
changed (MinNotFixed). If nothing is specified, then MinNotFixed is assumed. The 1-bit field
DescriptorName._MIF is automatically created to refer to this portion of the resource descriptor,
where ‘1’ is MinFixed and ‘0’ is MinNotFixed.
IsMaxFixed specifies whether the maximum address of this I/O range is fixed (MaxFixed) or can be
changed (MaxNotFixed). If nothing is specified, then MaxNotFixed is assumed. The 1-bit field
DescriptorName._MAF is automatically created to refer to this portion of the resource descriptor,
where ‘1’ is MaxFixed and ‘0’ is MaxNotFixed.
Decode specifies whether or not the device decodes the I/O range using positive (PosDecode) or
subtractive (SubDecode) decode. If nothing is specified, then PosDecode is assumed. The 1-bit field
DescriptorName._DEC is automatically created to refer to this portion of the resource descriptor,
where ‘1’ is SubDecode and ‘0’ is PosDecode.
ISARanges specifies whether the I/O ranges specifies are limited to valid ISA I/O ranges (ISAOnly),
valid non-ISA I/O ranges (NonISAOnly) or encompass the whole range without limitation
(EntireRange). The 2-bit field DescriptorName._RNG is automatically created to refer to this
portion of the resource descriptor, where ‘1’ is NonISAOnly, ‘2’ is ISAOnly and ‘0’ is EntireRange.
AddressGranularity evaluates to a 64-bit integer that specifies the power-of-two boundary (- 1) on
which the I/O range must be aligned. The 64-bit field DescriptorName._GRA is automatically
created to refer to this portion of the resource descriptor.
AddressMinimum evaluates to a 64-bit integer that specifies the lowest possible base address of the I/
O range. The value must have ‘0’ in all bits where the corresponding bit in AddressGranularity is
